Does anyone know why Gandalf didn't goto the battle of Pelonnor Fields after he had taken Faramir to thr HOH? Before pippin grabs him at the gate (just after confronting the Lord of the Nazgul (the best bad guy in my opinion - properly evil and scary) ) he says that he has to go as the battle is still in the balance - perhaps he desired a confrontation proper (like with the Balrog - sort of gandalf flexing his muscles but now with extra power) but he is taken away to stop Denethor killing faramir.
So why if as he said the battle was still in the balance, why didn't he go down to the battle? He still could have been useful down there. he could have saved Halbarad, who in my opinion is the LOTR equivalent of the guy in the original Star trek who beamed down with Kirk and Spock (usually wearing an orange uniform) and you just know he's going to die....
